Ingredients

• ⅓ cup chopped peanuts
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon soy sauce
• ⅓ pound trimmed fresh green beans
• 5 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon miso paste (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook uncovered until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes until cold to stop the cooking process. Once the green beans are cold, drain well and cut into 2-inch pieces.

Step 2

While the green beans are cooking, stir together the peanut butter, sugar, soy sauce, peanuts, and miso paste in a mixing bowl. Once the green beans have been cut, stir into the peanut sauce and serve.
